. -- dallas. -- provisional ballots. i do not know that it is more democrats than republicans. i suppose, it could drive down the popular vote for obama nationally, but i don't know that it will necessarily do that in any of the states that were hit. host: kristie from tennessee. caller: we all know as americans, whether we are democratic or republican to run a health care reform is very important. i am a political science major at my state college. i know a little bit about the dynamics of how politics works on an elementary level. you say in your article that obama and the next four years would be willing to cut deals with republicans, possibly. why if he was elected in 2008, why didn't you listen to the voices in congress on the republican side, and why did he pushed through a health care reform act that all of us as americans feel so strongly about? it would have been so nice if he had chosen by partition chip -- bipartisanship then and we would not be in a stalemate. of americans, a lot do like obamacare. it is not fair to say that everybody hates it. but in the first two

dallas county where i live, it's pretty high. a lot of people moving out of buffalo, out of the county. they have debunked that. i heard something on the newshour, pbs, that was interesting. it was just a statement, but the mormons and the muslims are teaming up to work for charity. i hope that's true. now the election is over. evidently, enough republicans like obama that he's back in there. as far as lindsey graham, i don't know why the tea party is trying to get rid of him. he bashes obama constantly. i have two tv sets on to watch them. the election is over. if you have got a problem, get to your representative or senator and ask him to do the business of the people. they work for us. but when they get elected and they think they are our boss. host: we will be talking about getting to work, coming up next, in the fiscal cliff talks. i first want to let you know that first lady michelle obama will be presented with the official white house christmas tree today. it is a 19-foot fur from jefferson, south carolina that this month

host: but go to dallas, texas, independent line. caller: is there a historical comparison to suppression. third-party votes as there is today? guest: i do not know what you mean about a suppression of the third-party voices. there have been the third party boys over there. for example, the debates, back when they were run by the league of women voters and now the league -- the debate commission. ross perot felt when he did not meet a certain threshold in the polls that he was not invited into the debates. there are any number of complaints that have been made over the years. it is tough for third-party to get on the ballot. let's be honest. the two major parties are aggressive in perpetuating themselves and they are not interested in fostering strong challengers. host: the history of money in campaigning. guest: it is a perennial issue. i hate to say that it is evergreen, but iwaith us. going back to 1996, that was an interesting election. -- 1896, he was very much the candidate of industry, business. william jennings bryan, a popul

host: democratic line, billy, and dallas, texas. caller: benghazi, one of the questions or statements i would like to make, it appears during the election that it was a main focus, as to why we did not get an immediate response to what was happening. if you really think about the fact that the united states itself, if there's a murder down the street, they use yellow tape and they have to do an investigation, all these rumors flying around that it was this, that come and the other. i just don't understand why there is such an emphasis on the media 100% reason benghazi happened without the opportunity of an investigation as to the rumors and everything else during that time. guest: it's a very good question. a lot of reporters and foreign policy people have been asking about. there is a significant amount of confusion as to why the administration seemed to make comments early on that suggested they thought it was a spontaneous attack. this was a time of great confusion. there was this anti-islamic web video that had come out and ther

what happened in dallas? the assassination of john f. kennedy today at 7:30 p.m. eastern and pacific. >> truman had two big puzzles in his life. the first was, this was a man who got into politics having failed at many businesses as a young man. the only way to get into politics in missouri was to be part of a machine. there were two machines. he hooked up with the pendergast machine, which was the most corrupt and often vicious machine. i said to myself, how did this happen? how could he possibly work in this machine in local politics? that was the first thing i had to work out. the second is what we all know about. how does he come to use the atomic bomb? what was behind the decision? what is the story about the atomic bomb before he became president and then when the decision was on his desk? it is still a controversial story. i wanted to know more about it. >> from his early life through his presidency, a look at the early life of president truman tonight at 8 p.m. on c-span's "q & a." host: joining us from new york is justin ruben, the executive director of m
